1. [VACHESTE] Jamestown Excavation -- Wash Post Article [1]
Fellow Virginia Researchers: The following article was posted on Quaker-Roots earlier today. Certainly something we are all interested. in. Janet Hunter THE LITTLE COLONY THAT TIME FORGOT In Sifting Through the Layers of Jamestown, Virginia Archaeologists Fill In Its Past By Laura Sessions Stepp Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, October 9, 1999; Page C01 http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1999-10/09/146l-100999-idx.html JAMESTOWN, Va.By the winter of 1609, the third year in Jamestown
2. [VACHESTE] Location of Towns & Creeks in Chesterfield Co. [1]
In researching deeds of Chesterfield Co. property owned by my ancestor, David Holt, the following places are referenced in the period 1750 to 1800. "The town formerly called Witton town" from a a 1752 deed. The town evidently had a "Plan" as the lots were numbered and referenced in the deed. The town of Pocahontas was referenced a number of times and also evidently had a "Plan". I assume it is located at the point where the Appomatox River divided adjacent to Petersburg. This area was in Chesterfield C
3. Re: [VACHESTE] South Richmond [1]
Thanks Edith, It seems we get history and geography lessons doing family research. It took me forever to find out that Manchester and Matoaca were not in Dinwiddie County as my husband's family had thought. The sad part is - that part of the family had lived in those areas. Patience! Thanks again for the info. Sherry

I would love to have a copy of your book. It will be a great piece to add to our new school library in BLuffton SC. I have been very disappointed in the history taught in the schools here.

8. [VACHESTE] Thanks for help on Will Assessment [1]
I want to thank all of you who provided a ready answer to the question of what the three figures "Value lbs 1219/11/10" meant in a 1762 inventory. One individual suggested a pound in 1750 was the equivalent of $65.00; he was very wealthy (FYI, I descend from one of his grandsons, who was the fourth and probably the fifth son.) The answer is British sterling lbs (I CANNOT find the key to making the pound symbol)/schillings/pence. This is also an accounting of assets, exclusive of land. The John Ba

Laura, What an interesting rumor. As a descendant of Michael Vaden's second wife, Catherine Rowlett, I would be interested in hearing what you find out. Is there anyplace on the net to check out things like tornadoes?

11. Re: [VACHESTE] re: Pocohontas [1]
Ok folks..........I feel I need to put in my two-cents here. Wanda is right about the present day location of Pocahontas Island. It is in the middle of the Appomattox River between Colonial Heights and Petersburg. It is part of the City of Petersburg. When a really bad tornado went through the area in Aug., 1993 I learned that the Island played a major role in the Underground Railroad in this area. As far as it having been part of Chesterfield at one time, I cannot say because I don't know it was
12. [VACHESTE] Chesterfield Towns before 1888 [1]
Bill, I have an 1888 map of Chesterfield County that I got from the Historical Society that resided in the old jail house at the Chesterfield Courthouse in the 1980's Old Town Creek is clearly marked on it and its headwaters are on the north side of the Appomattox River, running from just above the old town of "Matoaca" easterly then in an northward arc around the portion of Petersburg above the Appomattox til it empties into the Appomattox River. I would be guessing - but if I recall the story corr
13. [VACHESTE] Re: Pocahontas [1]
I just talked to my father who was born (in 1934) and raised in Petersburg. He said that the only way to access Pocahontas Island was by way of an access road off of the Colonial Heights/Petersburg bridge. This is now the Martin Luther King, Jr. bridge. He said that in the 1940s and early 1950s there was only one white family living on Pocahontas Island - a family with the last name Soko. He said that everyone living on the island was extremely poor. In the late 1940s there was a slaughter house

I am new to this list and would like to know if anyone has researched the Varnier / Varner families of Chesterfield Co. I would specifically like to know who the children of John Varnier and Mary Marshall (m.1789) are. Thanks for your interest, David Hardy
15. Re: [VACHESTE] Tornado in Chesterfield County? VADEN, WORSHAM [1]
Laural I read your post and checked out some sites regarding tornadoes. I had recently helped my daughter do research for this subject a month or two ago. There is one site (The Tornado Project Online) that gives a breakdown for each state (and county) on tornadoes from 1950-1995. They will "someday" have a complete list for tornado activity before 1950. It is not stated when that time will be. In the meantime, you can check it out and bookmark it to refer to in the future. August 6, 1993 was
16. [VACHESTE] Tornado in Chesterfield County? VADEN, WORSHAM [1]
Re: the rumor that a tornado caused the death of Prudence (Worsham) Vaden, wife of Michael Vaden. I read this in a book about the VADENs, GENEALOGY OF THE VADEN AND RELATED FAMILIES by Tennie Elizabeth (Vaden) Winn (1970). The story seems to have been passed down in the family of Michael Vaden Jr., who was a son of Prudence and Michael. As nearly as I can calculate, Prudence must have died between 1831 and 1834. There may be some record of a tornado in Chesterfield County in newspapers of that
17. [VACHESTE] Will -- Interpretation of Inventory Value Help Needed [1]
Fellow Virginia Researchers: I recently came across the Chesterfield VA Will Abstract book reference to the inventory that I believe is my 4g grandfather John BAUGH. He died intestate in 1761, which we know from later chancery court records in a dispute amongst his heirs (John, Croucher/Critcher/Creacher, Mary and Martha (Baugh) DANCE). I would like an interpretation of the value of the inventory. What do the three numbers mean? Thanks in advance. p. 332 Inventory of John Baugh. 30 March 1762, Value

21. [VACHESTE] Re: Pocahontas [1]
Pocahontas still exists. It is a small island community near Petersburg, VA. About 5 years ago, a tornado hit the Colonial Heights/Petersburg area. It hit the Old Town area of Petersburg and the Pocahontas community particularly hard. The Pocahontas community was very run down to begin with and is rebuilding with outside help. There were lots of newspaper articles about the Pocahontas community in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Their web site is http://www.gateway-va.com Edith In a message dated 10/8
22. Re: [VACHESTE] South Richmond [1]
Sherry, South Richmond was probably the City of Manchester. About 1910 Manchester became part of Richmond. Manchester was located on the south side of the James River near the ninth street bridge between Cowardin Ave. and the river on a present day map.
